Another Question for you all....
 

If you had the opportunity to apologize to someone, who would it be?

WOW this is a wonderful question:

1. My father: For the times he called me and I hung up on him. When he died and even now in my quiet time it bugs me, even though I was just trying to hurt him the way he had hurt me but I am the one living with the hurt.

2. My mom: Apologize for a lot of the mess I put her through as a kid and a teenager.

3. Myself: For doing some stupid crap that has gotten me in some jacked up predicaments, (READ: CREDIT CARDS)

4. God: For not following His will.

There are more but this is a lot in and of itself.

I most want to apologize to my aunt. When my uncle(her husband) died I wanted to blame her for not letting me get closer to him. Now that I'm older, I realize that I was never far from him as a child. I used my anger to grieve. I hope I get the chance before I have to write in another post about what I most regret. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Gosh, this one hit home.........

I would like to apologize to my Godmother. Sge was nearing her death and she'd been sick for such a long time that I thought that putting off the time she was asking me to spend with her would be ok.

I finally decided to let go of my so called busy schedule and spend some time with her.Those last two days were the best that we'd ever spend and it all ended so fast.

She was the one who protected me from those beat downs my mom was more than ready to give when I did something I had no business doing.....She was the one who would spend her last dime on things she knew I wanted and she didn't have much to begin with...

I would apologize for not spending the time I knew she wanted me to spend...and most of all, not letting her know sooner just how much she meant to me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

When I was a young drunk I left a club with some friends. We stopped at a store and saw a brother with some VERY thick glasses. My friends made several comments that I found to be funny. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I finally realized that the guy was my cousin and a childhood friend. I was ashamed at my actions. I have always wanted him to know how sorry I am for my actions and that I realize how immature I was at that point in my life.

I like this topic!!

If I had a chance to apologize to someone, it would be my ex-boyfriend. We were friends for a little while, and then we were together for like 8-9 months. I broke up with him because I felt, he treated me so bad, he was a jerk, he didn't trust me, and was too suspicious.

Now...as I am more mature, and I am far enough from the situation to have an honest take on it, I think that the way he was in the end of the relationship was a result of how I was in the begining.

I was so ready to tell all my friends about how BAD our relationship was, and how much we argued, but I couldn't admit that I had given him reason to be that way. I am not saying that EVERYTHING was my fault, I am just saying that I realize my wrong-doings, little 'white lies', etc. in the begining, made him the way he was. And that a lot of my actions directly contributed to the downfall of our relationship.

We've been apart for like almost 2 years now, and if I saw or spoke to him, I'd apologize to him for not being fair in acknowledging my faults in the relationship, and sad to say...I want him back! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

I would apologize to all the members of AKA that I led to believe for 7 years that I was a member of their organization, I wouldn't stop... but I would apologize -- if I could.

http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif WTF?? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

What do you mean, you wouldn't stop? You just gon' keep on lyin', huh? Whatever Clever. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Why apologize then? It doesn't mean anything if you are going to continue to do the same thing over and over. That's not why people apologize. Everyone seems to forget that small little detail...apologizing doesn't end with "I'm sorry." You know the saying about "actions speaking louder than words", right? Right!

Don't even give her the pleasure nuff' said!
Anyway, i'm in the same vote as mspradalover! I would definately appologize to my last ex-boyfriend. I have a very strong personality and he was just too sensative for me I guess and I to pushed him away. I miss him a lot!

my mother...for not understanding her situations...but how could a child understand anyway...but that is who i would apologize to...

I would apologize to my ex-boyfriend. I was very young and immature when we met. I also had a lot of baggage from other bad relationships entering into ours. So to say the least, he put up with alot. He was and is a strong, educated and dedicated man. I miss him alot. But in all honesty, I think us going seperate ways was for the best. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Good question.

NOBODY! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

much respect...

i can't believe that you had the cajones to say that! well...i hope that you stop what you're doing and appologize.
but i have to admit when i read it i fell out of my seat laughing. that was indeed very bold.

anyway...

i would appologize to:

-a couple of ex's...sometimes when you are young and foolish you end ish on a note that probably could have been done in a much more reasonable fashion.

peace

Just kiddin'

An old girlfriend of mine that I messed around on. I really liked her, but her friend was damn near irresistible http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Question...

Why are you all posting to this OLD A__ thread, when it is been lurking out there 5 months...LOL Where have you all been?

Seems like someone ain't too LUCKY! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

my little brother because, as children, i would go out of my way to physically harm him. i was a bully as a child (yes, sweet lil MeezDiscreet was a bully http://www.plauder-smilies.de/devil/goodnevil.gif ). i'd push him into walls, punch him, knock toys out of his hand. it actually makes me misty eyed now when i think about how horrible i was to him and he would still try to be a friendly little brother too me. (until he got about 13 or 14 and his big, tall a$$ was able to whoop the sh*t outta me).but, he's 17 now and if i apologized, he would laugh in my face.

and, i would apologize to my grandmother. as much as i loved her and knew she loved me, i would crack jokes about her to other people and wouldn't want to go visit. but, when i got older, i learned to cherish my elders and when she passed in 2000, i almost lost my mind. i cried for about 4 months, and still do sometimes.

I would apologize to my husband and daughter for being forced to live with me when I'm being less-than-pleasant.

I would apologize to this girl I used to kick it with. She REALLY liked me and I wasn't straight up with her. I did some immature ish because I knew I could get away with it. Its my loss though because she really got everything together and probably wouldn't give me the time of day now. I guess its karma.

Hmmm.....Maybe I'm being too hard on myself. I could probably still pull her if I really wanted to. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Ain't dat Karma summin' else? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

They say it's a Biyach!

I would apologize to one of my "ex's" for pushing him away! I miss him and now regret it (sort of). But hey....the show must go on! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

I would apologize to my ex-fiance'-I broke up with him when he went away to optometry school, because we had been dating since I was a junior in highschool and I felt suffocated. I actually called him to tell him I met someone else and was marrying him and expected him to be happy for me. Anyway that guy lasted 2 weeks. I then went to him school and thought he would pick up where we left off. Anyway he hooked up with a fellow student (she consoled him through the breakup)and they are married. But I really feel badly sometimes. Oh well-life goes on.

My ex-boyfriend,

He was the sweetiest person I have ever met. He would do things such as: put cards in my mailbox, send flowers to my job, take me out to dinner and movies, sit and talk to my mom for hours, go to church with me, spend holidays with my family, take my little niece to the park with me....... the went on and on. He wanted to marry me and take care of me....He treated me like a queen. I dumped him for a loser!!!!
At my probate show he was there with his frat. I had not seen him for two years. They were giving us flowers....... He skipped right over me, and never looked at me. I was sad for what was suppose to be one of best nights of me life!!
I wish I could do it all over again.

Are you sure that you would want to apologize after THAT? That sounds like incredibly petty behavior.

I would apologize to all the members of AKA that I led to believe for 7 years that I was a member of their organization, I wouldn't stop... but I would apologize -- if I could.

I at first became angry that someone would perpetrate. However, after I read it twice I felt pity for you to not know who you are as a being that you would have to perpetrate to have a sense of being ... of self.. of belonging... so with in your statement you have already apologized unfortunately you need to begin to apologize to yourself so that you can heal and being to accept yourself
